The program places a strong emphasis on the development of: professionalism in language education; individual language rights; accessible, high quality education; collaboration in a global community; interaction of research and reflective practice for educational improvement; respect for diversity and multiculturalism; and promotion of professional development and exchange for educators. This program is closely aligned with the professional standards established by Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education/Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation. The Maryland Higher Education Commission approved the program in 2007.
